By Michael Palmer |  Jun 19, 2004  | #travel, #yapc, #perl | 1 min read
Day three was good.. I really enjoyed Damian’s talk.. Overall good conference this year.. the University at Buffalo was a great place to host it. They had wireless everywhere, and plenty of places to eat on campus.. Go to tour the supercomputing lab. That was fun. Went to Niagra falls last night, and hopped the bridge to Canada.. Anyways..

It’s what gets them ready for life. Read these two articles. “I know I’m starting to sound like my grandfather but when I was a kid running around New York City in the 50’s and 60’s, the whole world of freeplay and street games was different.

The bartender says “Wow, I never saw anyonebody drink that fast” The man replies by saying, “Well, you’d drink fast if you had what I have” The bartender says “Oh my god, what do you have?
